This cheddar cheese bread is made with buttermilk baking mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. This recipe is from my mom’s recipe collection. You can eat this bread either warm or at room temperature with softened butter.

When I made this quick bread, I was unsure of what to expect since most quick breads are on the sweet side. This turns out to be a savory bread and the taste resembles something like a cheddar sausage muffin or biscuit.

I do like the amount of color in the finished product. You can see the shredded cheese and bits of crumbled bacon throughout the loaf. I also thought there was a lot of good flavor in this bread and I think it would be a nice complement to a quiche, egg dish, or breakfast casserole.

In case you are wondering about the buttermilk baking mix listed, two you can look for are Hodgson Mill or Pioneer. What you want a biscuit or pancake baking mix with buttermilk in it. I know there are many others as well as specific brands may differ in your area.

Also, a small bowl of fresh fruit, such as oranges, watermelon, or apples along with a slice of this bread would make a quick and easy filling breakfast.
